I buy most of my books from The Book Depository (http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/WEBSITE/WWW/WEBPAGES/homepage.php) because the price of books in Australia is expensive. And now I'm just waiting on the latest Jean M Auel book out March! It's only been an eight year wait :D

Sorry about the dog, the decision is a hard one for you but maybe the best for her *hugs*
